1 Satguru Kriya Babaji was born on 30 November 203 A.D in a small coastal village now known as Parangipettai, in Tamil Nadu, India. He was born under the same star (Rohini) as Lord Krishna and was given the name Nagarajan. Babaji is considered to be an incarnation of Lord Muruga, in a body that fittingly pays homage to him as lord of eternal youth and beauty. His parents were Nambudri Brahmins who had immigrated there from the Malabar coast on the western side of South India. At the age of 5, someone kidnapped him and sold him as a slave at Dacca, capital of Bangladesh. Fortunately, his new owner was a kind man and he freed Nagarajan shortly thereafter. He joined a small group of wandering monks due to their radiant faces and love for god and for the next few years he wandered from place to place studying Holy Scriptures. He migrated to Benares and shone as a Sanskrit scholar of great eminence. At the age of eleven, he made a difficult journey by foot and boat with a group of ascetics to Kathirgamam on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. There he met Siddha Boganathar and became his disciple. He performed intensive yoga sadhanas for 18 months with him. Drawing inspiration from the great Siddha of Science, Boganathar, he was able to appreciate and understand the full significance of Siddhantha Yoga and Soruba Samadhi and he accepted the challenge of attaining this mystic goal, supreme, Samadhi. It was Boganathar who inspired Babaji to seek his initiation into Kriya Kundalini Pranayamam from Siddha Agastya. At the age of 15 Babaji became a disciple of Agastya and was fortunate to be initiated into the secrets of Kriya Kundalini Pranayamam at Kutralam. Babaji made a long pilgrimage to Badrinath and remained absorbed for years in the intensive Yogic Sadhana taught to him by Boganathar and Agastya finally to emerge Laughing at the Limitations of Death. He was a Siddha who has surrendered to the power and consciousness of the divine. His body was no longer subject to the ravages of disease or death. He dedicated himself to the upliftment of suffering humanity. The immortal Babaji made his own contributions to the nucleus given to him by Siddha Agastya, renamed it “Kriya” and has retained his form through the centuries tapping many, speaking to a few and materializing to give darshan to his saintly chosen. For centuries he worked behind the scenes as the source of inspiration and guidance to past Kriya Masters like Adi Shankara, Kabir Das, Lahiri Mahasaya, Yogi Ramiah (Yogiar) and many others. Thus he is the climax of the 18 Tamilian Yoga Siddha tradition, which includes Thirumoolar, Ramadevar, Kumbamuni, Konkanavar, Sattamuni, Karuvoorar, Sundarnandar, Valmiki, Nandi Devar, Paambati, Boganathar, Maccha muni, Patanjali, Dhanvanthri, Gorakkaar, Kudambai, Idaikadar and Kamalamuni.

9 ADI SANKARAR (788 - 820 AD, Kalady, India)
Shankara, as he was known before becoming a great teacher, was born into a poor Brahmin family at Kaladi, present day Kerala, India in the 8th century AD. His parents, Sivaguru and Aryamba, offered their prayers to Lord Shiva, requesting the deity to bless them with a child. Their prayers were soon answered in the form of a baby boy. A few theories suggest that Aryamba had a dream in which Lord Shiva himself promised her that he would be taking birth as her child. Hence, many consider Shankara as a reincarnation of Shiva. Shankara was educated by his mother as he lost his father when he was just seven. Aryamba played a key role in teaching Vedas and Upanishads to a young Shankara. He was initiated by Master Kriya Babaji in Advaitha Veddantha Gnana Kriya at Kasi to resolve conflict between Hinduism and Buddism. This explains how he was able to siddhis in his life time.
During his early life, he astounded many with his knowledge and intelligence. He started writing his own analysis of the Upanishads, Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita at a young age. He is considered the greatest philosopher in India and great master of Sanskrit. Also he established 4 ashrams for intensive sadhanas. He established a center in south India, one center in western India, one center in north India and one center in east India. In north India there is a very beautiful center in the Joshimath Himalayas, It is on the way to Badrinath where our great master attained soruba samadhi. He composed many poems, praising gods and goddesses. The ones dedicated to Krishna and Shiva are considered most important among his 'sostras'. He advocated the existence of the soul and the Supreme Soul. He believed that the Supreme Soul alone is real and unchanging while the soul is a changing entity and that it does not have absolute existence. He is also credited with making Hindus understand the existence of one Supreme Being. He explained that all other deities are just different forms of the Supreme Being.
At the age of 32, Adi Shankaracharya retired to the Himalayas and is believed to have entered a cave near Kedarnath. He was never seen again and the cave that he entered is considered as his final resting place. He disappeared in 820 AD
10 KABIR DAS (1440 – 1518 AD Varanasi, India)
Kabir Das was born in 1440 in Varanasi , Jaunpur, India (15th Century). He was a mystic poet, Sufi and saint, whose writings influenced basic Indian spirituality. He was nonetheless strongly self realized and influenced by social conditions of untouchables and the mental condition of upper caste. He was initiated by Master Kriya Babaji in Kabir Hath Yoga to resolve conflict between Hinduism and Muslims.
The birth of Kabir remains shrouded in mystery and legend. According to one legend, his mother was a Brahman who became pregnant after a visit to a Hindu shrine. Because she was unwed, she abandoned Kabir, who was found and adopted by a Muslim weaver. He lived most of his life in Varanasi as a weaver himself which was one of a low -ranked caste and had become largely Muslim in his time. That his early life began as a Muslim there is little doubt, but he was later strongly influenced by a Hindu ascetic, Ramananda.
Kabir is known for being critical of Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, stating that the first two were misguided by the Vedas, and questioning their meaningless rites of initiation such as the sacred thread and circumcision respectively. He was equally critical of both, often conceiving them as parallel to one another in their misguided ways. In his view, the mindless, repetitious, prideful habit of declaiming scripture could be visited alike on the sacred Hindu texts , the Vedas, or the Islamic holy book, the Quran. During his lifetime, he was threatened by both Hindus and Muslims for his views.
Kabir suggested that True God is with the person who is on the path of righteousness, considered all creatures on earth as his own self, and who is passively detached from the affairs of the world. He is depicted in modern times as a harmonizer of Hindu and Muslim belief and practice. When he died in 1518 in Maghar, India , both Hindus and Muslims he had inspired claimed him as theirs. (There was dispute whether to cremate or bury his corpse, but his body ultimately vanished).
11 LAHIRI MAHASAYA (1828 - 1895 AD, Varanasi, India)
Lahiri Mahasaya a disciple of Mahavatar Babaji was born into a brahmin family in the Ghurni village in Nadia district of Bengal Province on September 30, 1828. He was the youngest son of Muktakashi, wife of Gaur Mohan Lahiri. At the age of three or four, he was often seen sitting in meditation, with his body buried in the sand up to his neck. At the age of five the family moved to Varanasi, where he would spend most of his life as a child reciting the Vedas, bathing in the Ganges, and worshipping. In 1846, he was married and had two sons and three daughters.
In 1861, Lahiri was transferred to Ranikhet, in the foothills of the Himalayas. One day, while walking in the hills, he heard a voice calling to him. After climbing further, he met his Guru Mahavatar Babaji, who initiated him into the techniques of Kriya Yoga. Babaji told Lahiri that the rest of his life was to be given to spreading the Kriya message.Soon after, Lahiri Mahasaya returned to Varanasi, where he began initiating sincere seekers into the path of Kriya Yoga. He organized many study groups and freely gave Kriya initiation to those of every faith at a time when caste bigotry was very strong. Over the years he closely associated with people from all castes and initiated them which was unusual for a strict Brahmin at that time. He was also the guru of Yukteswar Giri and became known in the West through Paramahansa Yogananda,a disciple of Yukteswar Giri, and through Yogananda'sAutobiography of a Yogi.
In 1895 he began gathering his disciples, letting some of them know that he would soon be leaving the body. Moments before his passing, he said simply, "I am going home. Be comforted; I shall rise again." He then turned his body around three times, faced north, and consciously left his body, entering mahasamadhi on 26 September 1895.
12 YUKTESWAR GIRI (1855 - 1936 AD, Serampore, India)
Priyanath karar was born on May 10th 1855 in Serampore, India to Kshetranath and Kadambini. He lost his father at a young age, and took on much of the responsibility to manage his families land holdings. He was a bright student and was enrolled in Srirampur Christian Missionary College, where he developed an interest in the Bible. He also attended Calcutta Medical College for almost two years. After leaving college, he was married and had a daughter. His wife died a few years after their marriage and he eventually was formally initiated into the monastic Swami order as "Sri Yukteswar Giri".
In 1884, Priya Nath met Lahiri Mahasaya, who became his Guru and initiated him into the path of Kriya Yoga.Sri Yukteswar spent a great deal of time in the next several years in the company of his guru, often visiting Lahiri Mahasaya in Benares. In 1894, while attending the Kumbha Mela in Allahabad, he met the Guru of Lahiri Mahasaya, Mahavatar Babaji, who asked Sri Yukteswar to write a book comparing Hindu scriptures and the Christian Bible. Sri Yukteswar completed the requested book in 1894, naming it Kaivalya Darsanam, or The Holy Science. He had only a few long-term disciples, but in 1910, the young Mukunda Lal Ghosh would become Sri Yukteswar's most well known disciple, eventually spreading the teachings of Kriya Yogathroughout the world as Paramahansa Yoganandawith his church of all religions
Yukteswar attained mahasamadhi at Karar Ashram, Puri, India on 9 March 1936. After his passing, Sri Yukteswar gave to the world a profound last testimony to the truths he had so succinctly described in “The Holy Science”.As Yogananthar,grieving over the loss of his beloved guru, made preparations for returning America, Sri Yukteswar appeared to him in resurrected form. Yoganantharwrote in his book of “Autobiographyof a Yogi” about the wondrous experience and Sri Yukteswar's revelations of the truth nature of cosmic creation, of life after death, and of the continuing evolution of the immortal soul.
YUKTHEESWARAR ASRAM SERAMPORE - KOLKATTA
13 PARAMAHANSA YOGANANTHAR (1893 - 1952 AD, Kolkatta, India) Yogananda was born in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India on January 5th 1893. His awareness and experience of the spiritual was far beyond the ordinary in his early years. In his youth he sought out many of India's Hindu sages and saints, hoping to find an illuminated teacher to guide him in his spiritual quest. At the age of 17, he met his guru Swami Yukteswar Giri. In June 1915 he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Serampore College. This allowed him to spend time at Yukteswar's ashram in Serampore. In 1915, he took formal vows into the monastic Swami order and became Swami Yogananda Giri. In 1917, Yogananda founded a school for boys in Dihika, West Bengal, that combined modern educational techniques with yoga training and spiritual ideals. Later in the years Yukteswar informed Yogananda that he has been sent to him by Mahavatar Babaji for a special purpose. In 1920, Yogananda went to the United States as India's delegate to an International Congress of Religious Liberals convening in Boston.That same year he founded the Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) to disseminate world wide his teachings on India's ancient practices and philosophy of Yogaand its tradition of meditation. For the next several years, he lectured and taught on the East Coast .Yoganandawas the first Hindu teacher of yoga to spend a major portion of his life in America. He lived in the United States from 1920—1952, interrupted by an extended trip abroad in 1935–1936 which was mainly to visit his guru in India to help establish his Yogoda Satsanga work in India. While in India, Yukteswar gave Yogananda the monastic title of Paramahansa. Paramahansa means "supreme swan" and is a title indicating the highest spiritual attainment. After returning to America, Yogananda continued to lecture, write, and establish churches in southern California. In 1946, he published his life story, Autobiography of a Yogi which mainly describes his spiritual search for enlightenment and also his encounters with notable spiritual figures. On 7 March 1952, he attended a dinner for the visiting Indian Ambassador to the US and his wife at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. At the conclusion of the dinner, Yogananda spoke of India and America, their contributions to world peace and human progress, and their future cooperation, expressing his hope for a "United World" that would combine the best qualities of "efficient America" and "spiritual India." At the end of his speech his body slumped to the floor and he entered mahasamadhi.
YOGANANDAR HOUSE KOLKATTA
14 YOGI RAMAIAH (1923 - 2006 AD, Karaikudi, India) Reference: (Yogi Ramaiah. (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.babajiskriyayoga.net/)
On May 9, 1923, in the ancestral mansion of S.A. Annamalai Chettiar, a young woman, Thaivani Achi, gave birth to her second son, Ramaiah. Ramaiah excelled in his studies and in 1944, he graduated at the very top of his class. Yogi Ramaiah ( Yogiar) had contracted bone tuberculosis an incurable disease, and for six years he remained hanging from the bed posts and suspended in the air in order to arrest further development of the disease. On March 7, 1952, the day that Yogananda attained mahasamadhi in USA, Mauna Swami, a disciple of Shirdi Sai Baba visited the San Thome home of Ramaiah, and predicted with great assurance that Ramaiah would soon be healed. But before this could occur, one night Ramaiah decided to end his life by holding his breath. Then, as he was doing so, he suddenly heard a voice say: “Do not take your life! Give it to me!” Startled, he took a deep breath, wondering who this could be. Then he realized that it must be the mysterious figure whom he had begun to see in meditation after the visit of Mouna Swami. The first time this occurred, he had a vision of Shirdi Sai Baba, wearing his characteristic orange head cloth. He eagerly asked Shirdi Sai Baba: “Are you my guru?” The reply came: “No, but I will reveal to you who is your guru.”Just then, he saw for the first time his guru “Babaji.” The next morning, Ramaiah awoke and realized he has been healed from his illness. The doctor was called in and the body cast was removed. To the astonishment of everyone, the doctor's examination revealed that the incurable disease had disappeared. During the following days, Ramaiah regained the use of his legs. He also began chanting softly the name “Babaji” and then “Om Babaji” and “Om Kriya Babaji” and finally the five syllabled “panchakra” mantra “Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum,” with utter gratitude and delight. On October 17, 1952, “Kriya Babaji Sangam” was officially founded, and regular lectures, meditation classes and other public activities were organized at the San Thome home of Ramaiah. Ramaiah was the President, and V.T. N. was the “Acharya.” More books were written, despite V.T.N's fragile health. Ramaiah wrote the introductions, and V.T.N. wrote down the dictations from Babaji. Babaji began directing the sadhana of V.T.N., Ramaiah and his wife Solachi, with specific instructions regarding meditation and mantras in particular. Babaji Initiated him into a 144 Kriyas in 1957 at his ashram near Badrinath. Since that time Yogi Ramaiah founded 52 centers world wide and highly serviced to Kriya Yoga with Babaji's request until he went to Maha samadhi on July 12th 2006. “Om Kriya Yogiyar Nama Aum”

16 HOW MY LIFE GUIDED TOWARDS MASTER KRIYA BABAJI BY GURU SWAMI RAM AND YOGIAR

19 SOME OF BABAJI'S KRIYA YOGA CONCEPTS IN THE HUMAN BODY AND NATURE
Thiru Suseenthiran - President Canadian Babaji Yoga Sangam
Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum exercises are the Vanakka asana for Babaji and science of sun worship. The next fourteen Babaji's kriya yoga is very unique compared to exercises consist of seven pairs of exercises, other types of yoga in the world. This yoga followed by the last two exercises one for consists of a five-fold path which is related to concentration and the other one for the five layers in the human body. The five relaxation. Babaji defined all of these 18 layers are Physical, Vital, Mental, Intellectual exercises to activate the 72 thousand nerve and Spiritual. This yoga practice method system in the human physical body. These 18 specifically targets these five layers in the exercises must be done with pose, followed by body. First layer (Physical) body activation counter pose. ONE MUST NOT HOLD THEIR occurs through the 18 Hatha Yoga exercises. BREATH and these asanas are practiced in Second layer (Vital) body activation occurs stages. All these 18 exercises should be done through kundalini pranayama. Third layer with synchronized breathing along with the (Mental) body activation happens through body movement. In order to ensure that we high levels of meditation. Fourth layer are breathing correctly while doing these (Intellectual) body activation happens through exercises, we must concentrate the mind on mantra Jabam and the final fifth layer (Spiritual) our breathing. If you want to get 100% benefit body activation happens through Love and from these kriya hatha yoga exercises, two Bhakthi. main concepts must be integrated with this, breathing (pranayamam) & concentration All these five body layers are described in (meditation). Therefore, Babaji's Hatha Yoga is Saiva Sitthantham as Annamaya kosham, integrated with physical body movement, Pranamaya kosham, Manomaya kosham, concentration and breathing. Once a person Vingnanamaya kosham & Anandamaya follows Kriya Hatha yoga then he is eligible to kosham. These five koshas are represented by seek initiation from the guru for the other three a specific god. Annamaya kosham is a body layers. So, once that person gets depiction of Ganapathy, Pranamaya kosham is initiated, he has to practice the five-fold path a depiction of Muruga, Manomaya kosham is a yoga throughout his life time on a daily basis depiction of all Shakthis (goddess), for a minimum of 30 min to achieve the goal of Vingnanamaya kosham is a depiction of Sivan self-realization. Also, follow the practice for & Anandamaya kosham is a depiction of Sivam one-year daily between 4 am and 6 am (half Sivan & half Parvathi). (brahmamurta). This practice will help a sadhak to get connected to the universal Now let's look at the 18 kriya hatha yoga vibrations. The science behind the exercises for the Physical body. The first two phenomenon is, the earth rotates itself in a
20 day, in 24 hours it moves a degree in the when they are growing this breath count starts process of going around the sun, 360 degrees to change depending on their life style and in 365 days. The mechanism of this shows that living habits. each day vibrations differ so that the sun's power could be derived in full as a practitioner Also, this left breathing, right breathing and covers 360 degrees. center breathing are represented by three Nature Rivers Ganga, Saraswathi and Yamuna. Now we are going to look into soul theory. We Ganga represents the left breathing; Yamuna all come to this world from God which means represents the right breathing and Saraswathi we are a part of God. We go through several represents the center breathing. But when you births to reach our goal of self-realization and look at the Saraswathi River this starts at go back to God wherever we come from. So, Badrinath mountain then disappears inside the number of births differs for each soul and the land, it travels inside the land for depends on their karma. During any of our thousands of km and then comes out from the birth cycles we will get into the yoga path to land near Alagabath. At the same point Ganga achieve self-realization, that could take one and Yamuna also meet. That sacred point is birth or several births. So, the interesting called Thiruveni Sangamam. The same concept of Babaji's kriya yoga is that it's a concept exists in our body where the left complete package of practice for all your body breathing, right breathing and center layers. In other types of yoga, you may only get breathing meet at the tip of the nose between to practice for a few layers in your body. In the eyebrows (Agnya Chakra). This point is Babaji's kriya yoga the physical body practice equivalent to the natural place Thriveni that you do in this life only helps until your Sangamam. death. Once you die that benefit is gone, but the other four-layer practices, whatever you Also, the god-goddess which represents the practice in this life will be carried forward with left breathing is Siva-Athisakthi, god-goddess your soul to the future births. That means which represents the right breathing is whatever you practice for those four subtle Vishnu-Mahasakthi and god-goddess which and causal body layers (vital, mental, represents the center breathing is Brahma- intellectual & spiritual) is not wasted even after Parasakthi. In our physical body left breathing death. Any human when they die, they are not and right breathing flows through the nose going to take anything from this world with hole but center breathing doesn't have a hole. them that could be their father, mother, wife, That's the reason why in Saiva Sitthantham kids, wealth etc. But it is guaranteed that they Siva-Athisakthi and Vishnu-Mahasakthi have will take the benefits of Babaji's five-fold path temples and Brahma-Parasakthi has no practices into their next life, except the temple. physical body practice. Another concept of this breathing track, left All humans take fifteen breaths per minute that breathing is the cold side and represented by accumulate to 21,600 breaths per day. This is the moon, right breathing is hot and it a siddha calculation, also 11 hours they do left represents the Sun. In your body if the breathing, 11 hours right breathing and 2 breathing track changes from the given 11 hours center breathing. If you practice Babaji's hours, that creates sicknesses to your body. If kriya yoga you can decrease your breath count left breathing count increases per day that per day compared to the normal life and this creates cold side of the sickness to your body, leads you to live longer. That is the reason why if right breathing count increases per day then in the olden day's siddhas lived for a longer it creates heat side of the sickness to your period of time. When a human is born, they body. But it is the center breathing condition have the exact breath count stated above but that gives you the healthy state. In kriya yoga if

The Tamil saiva yoga The body of a human is called the microcosm siddhantha tradition comes from god Siva. and the universe is called the macrocosm. When we follow this path, we see god not only That is all that you find in the universe is in the in heaven, he is able to manifest in other composition of a human. The universe is planes like the physical, vital, mental, composed of five elements and the human intellectual and spiritual. Babaji's kriya yoga body also consists of five elements. Namely siddhantham is to seek Babaji to become earth, water, fire, air & ether which correspond Babaji. The most important technique is Kriya to the five bodies as physical, vital, mental, Kundalini Pranayama which helps to awaken intellectual & spiritual. the kundalini sakthi. You will raise that sakthi to 1008 petals. The Human body has 6 chakras namely A person accepts veddhantham and goes to • Muladhara chakra (sacral center) the level of siddhanantham.

All of us are subjected to the law of karma. In What is Samadhi? modern science, it is the law of action and reaction. We try an action and there is going to Samadhi is a breathless state of communion be a reaction. We try to practice yoga to with god. When you get into that state you will experience the great Samadhi. Good action not breathe and all bodily functions come to a will produce good reaction. Bad action will stop, but you are not dead. produce bad reaction. You do not blame god for bad reaction. Normally whenever anything What is death? goes wrong you blame others. No one ever finds out why they are suffering. This is a result A person is dead from the stand point of yoga of bad karma. Kriya Babaji states, all that is when the vital body disconnects from the good is through the grace of god. All that is bad physical body. Your vital body is within your is the work of humans. Accept responsibility physical when you are living. When you are for your action. Then you would be able to get dying the vital body comes out of the physical. over the bad reaction. You will not make the same mistake again. You can get rid of bad Who am I? reaction and get good reaction. So, you practice Babaji's kriya yoga when you are alive Am I the vital body or physical body? you get or not alive (life after life). Actually, this needs confused. So, when we die, if we have this to be practiced eternally. If you don't practice knowledge you know that the vital body is kriya yoga you are subjected to an separated from the physical. That vital body is unrevokable law of karma. attached to the physical by an umbilical cord when we grow in our mother's womb. If that The word “Kriya” means practical technique. umbilical cord is cut that is death. So you can get rid of the limitations of karma. The major climax of Kriya Yoga mechanism is When a person dies, then the vital body comes love. That's the reason why we repeatedly out of the physical through in any one of the emphasize that “Babaji is love and love is nine openings in the human body. If a person Babaji.” Learn to live and share Kriya Yoga to has spiritual development and consciousness people you come across so you will have then the vital body comes out through wonderful future experiences with Babaji's openings like the nose, mouth, ears & the Kriya Yoga and this leads to Samadhi. This is eyes. Suppose a person lives his normal life the ultimate goal of Babaji's kriya yogam. without a spiritual path, his vital body exits out Om Kriya Babaji Nam Aum

Life has Ups and Downs. Our family had a beautiful ananda.org online, it was very beautiful and their life for a good period of time and when the hard instructors were very caring. But their process time came, it struck us really hard, showing a takes too long and me living on the midwest and terrible image of death in front of my eyes when I their presence on the West Coast and with family was delivering my second child during labor. With commitments, posed a big challenge. So, I kept God's grace, we were saved from danger but life looking and when I came across the Canadian took a different toll taking the entire family through Babaji Yoga Sangam, I immediately sent in my a very hard time for a few years. Finally we interest. recovered, but the lost Peace and Joy, were never to be found. All these experiences drove me to I was quite surprised to receive a prompt response question; the meaning of life and the true purpose from Suseenthiran Sir in my inbox. My journey of being born in this world. Is it just to live for towards Babaji's Kriya Yoga started with a earning wealth, raising families or further helping telephonic conversation with Suseenthiran Sir, humanity or suffer in this survival of the fittest with a remote Satsang and he offered initiation to community? Somehow these were not convincing me and my spouse at our house due to our travel to me, as when I see people who have attained all issues, which was beyond our dream and the great wealth and power were still unhappy and imagination, also due to Babaji's grace and searching for Joy. I started searching for Peace and Suseenthiran Sir's dedication to service. Our story the methods to attain everlasting peace. is a great example wich demonstrates the fact, that Babaji embraces his children from birth and after My medical providers in the field, directed me in birth, with strong perseverance to ensure their the direction of Meditation. Hatha Yoga is not new liberation. He ensures to remove all hurdles on to me, but it's connection to Mind was not found. their path to get Kriya Initiation towards Self- My therapist and my office colleague, directed me realization. Our heart tells Babaji brought to Kriya Yoga and Paramahamsa Yoganandaji. I Suseenthiran Sir to our place at the right time, to read his book "Autobiography of Yogi", to learn help us out. From that day onwards, we are more. I was drawn to Babaji, mentioned in the practicing our Kriya, and all our personal book and when I saw his picture, I was melting into experiences tells for sure, that Babaji is living with tears as if an orphaned child had found her mother. us day and night guiding us as our care taker. I wanted to practice Kriya Yoga in a pure form from Babaji, more in line with the native South Indian OM KRIYA BABAJI NAMA AUM Tradition. In USA, I couldn't find any help in that OM KRIYA BABAJI NAMA AUM line, still I tried learning meditation from OM KRIYA BABAJI NAMA AUM

Kriya yoga path is a long journey towards Mokthi or Moksha. In this journey each individual has a different type of experience and during this journey a lot of obstacles in the form of maya (illusion) like fame, treasury, passion, greed & other siddhis will try to divert you. During such time guru Babaji's guidance and our daily practice of sathanas will give us full awareness and help us to come out of it. And, if anyone breaks down in between, they will again take another incarnation and proceed from that point.

He opportunity to share my pilgrimage is beyond that and his ParaBrahmam can experiences.

“The wise mourn neither for the dead nor for the living”
“Jivatman, the dweller in this body passes through childhood, youth and old age and then with the same ease into another body through the door of death, hence the wise are not deceived by the phenomenon of death”
“Yoga is an ancient science of God-Realization leading to the union of the Jivatman with the Paramatman”
“Listen. You have been abroad. While going in a ship the baggage is divided into two parts, one is labeled wanted and the other unwanted. The unwanted baggage is handed over to the crew. It does not mean you will not get it back, simply another person takes charge of it. So also your family is the unwanted baggage. Do not worry about it. Concentrate on the voyage. You are an advanced soul and do not need any application. You can do much for our cause”
“That which goes by the name of 'I' or 'you' is not simply a physical body with life and mind. They say, 'I' or 'you', consist of five sheaths, but ordinarily we grow up not noticing two out of the five. We must bring the other two out to shine equally with the first three by and by, more and more. Intuition and instinct have more to do with the shaping of character and behaviour than intelligence or imitation, or impulse”
“You will deal with each other in terms of equality and not as a superior or subordinate, teacher or pupil, preceptor or follower. No disputation, personification or idolization”
“We want a large body of sincere, all-surrendered workers who would silently, perhaps in obscurity work day and night with one objective in view, the service of God in man”
“You must have patience, my child. You must tire patience with patience. Remember, there is a time for everything and everything in its own time”

Dr.M.Jeyapal Sahasra Yoga - Chennai
INTRODUCTION: awareness and consciousness.
Om Kriya Babaji Nama Aum!! Namaste and Till now the location of the mind in our body is Vanakam. I am DR.M.Jayapal BNYS., from a mystery & under discussion but, an Karur Tamil Nadu, settled in Chennai. I have impression of the mind can be found in the hada great passion for self-realization & was brain & neurons as a blueprint. The Nervous keen to find thesecrets, purpose and System is considered to be a bridge between existence of everything in this cosmos. This the body and mind. In harnessing the mind led me to learn various teachings of yoga, and techniques to use, 100% of the Brain's siddhanta, vedanta, tantra etc. While capacity is found in Babaji's Kriya Yoga which progressing with various doubts, incomplete comprise of mostly all techniques in various experience, fake gurus & business minded spiritual traditions. masters, I was introduced into Babaji's Kriya tradition by Mr.Srinivasan & Mrs.Mahalakshmi CLASSIFICATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: from Chennai who are lovable devotees of Babaji and Kriya practitioners. Then I was EFFECTS OF KRIYA YOGA IN VARIOUS initiated into Babaji's Kriya Yoga in the year 2012. From then my spiritual journey got its shape, path and light with Babaji's blessings. As a doctor, my experience in kriya yoga is scientific and metaphysical too, I would like to share few experiences and findings which are more related with the brain, neurons, nervous system and the mind.
IMPORTANCE OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM:
There are many systems in our body which are ASPECTS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM: influenced by Kriya Yoga techniques but there is a reason why I chose to brief about the BRAIN: nervous system. The nervous system is the master system that controls all other systems 1. Kriya yoga techniques balances both and has a close connection with our mind, will, right and left cerebral hemisphere 102 which is responsible for creative & logical spine is benefited through various kriya thinking, then enhances the activity of corpus practices. For example,Kriya Hatha Yoga helps callosum which holds the left and right sides of in shaping the spinal curvature, spinal posture the brain, in yogic way we can say that by and regulates spacing intervertebral disc. It balancing ida & pingala nadi , sushum na nadi also improves spinal flexibility and removes is activated which is the baseline principle of stiffness which are a result of our poor Babaji' skriya yoga. lifestyle.
3. Some mindful practices improves body 2. The limbic system (responsible for awareness, reflex, sensual and motor human emotions) is brought under functions which happens through the spinal our control consciously with suppre cord. ssing or expressing, but transforming the emotional energy into spiritual by 4. Various nerve plexus which are responsible bhakti yoga in Babaji's tradition, which for proper functioning of many endocrine nowadays is called emotional glands in our body, maintains hormonal intelligence or management. balance by various asanas designed by Satguru Babaji. 3. The hypothalamus which is respon sible for various automatic functions in PARASYMPATHETIC & SYMPATHETIC our body is regulated & programmed NERVOUS SYSTEM: efficiently by Babaji's kriyakundalini pranayama. 1. Sympathetic induces active and alert state of the body. Para sympathetic 4. The pituitary & pineal gland known as induces passive & relaxation state of the master glands are responsible for the body. In kriya yoga balancing these secreting various hormones in our two systems is a prime teaching and body. It is regulated by various practice which is known by the famous combinations of techniques in kriya kriya phrase” being actively calm and yoga. calmly active”.
5. There are also possibilities that advanced kriya yoga techniques can 2. Since most yogic systems nowadays activate various under active centers focus more on calmness, passive and of our brain which hold many dull state which is purely focussed on superhuman capacities inside it. para sympathetic, this makes the practitioner dull, dumb and lazy. More SPINAL CORD: focus on the sympathetic makes the practitioner more aggressive, reactive 1.Spinal cord is the bridge between the body and animalistic. The system fails to and the brain which transports signals from provide a complete balanced state of the body to the brain and vice versa. Spinal the body and mind. cord has its unique place in yogic tradition in metaphysical aspects.
